After 99 Bundesliga matches, Guirassy finds himself in enviable company. Only a handful of players have managed to produce such a prolific return at the start of their Bundesliga careers. To put his strike rate into perspective, Gerd Müller, the Bayern Munich icon and one of the most revered strikers the game has ever seen, scored the exact same number (62) in his opening 99 Bundesliga showings.
Only a select bunch have outgunned the African over their first 99 outings, including former Bayern star Roy Makaay (64), Cologne legend Dieter Müller and Hamburg great Uwe Seeler (both 66). Top of the list, however, is another Borussia Dortmund goal machine – Friedhelm ‘Timo’ Konietzka, scorer of the Bundesliga’s first-ever goal, who struck an incredible 72 times across the same number of games in the 1960s.
Erling Haaland actually scored the same number of goals (62) as Guirassy, but in just 67 games, before moving to Manchester City in 2022. Meanwhile, Bayern’s Harry Kane has already scored 60 goals in just 60 Bundesliga matches – a frightening pace that could see Konietzka’s long-standing record finally fall.
